Allan Moffat, OBE, joins BTS's Team Safety

Veteran touring car champion Allan Moffat, OBE, has joined Boylan Traffic Solutions as part of its Team Safety program.
The program - spearheaded by performance car driver Peter Boylan and motorsport commentator Neil Crompton - aims to help reduce road trauma by increasing awareness about the safety message in the wider community.
Boylan Traffic Solutions managing director Peter Boylan said Allan's knowledge and driving experience made him an ideal ambassador for the Team Safety message.
"I'm thrilled that Allan has singled us out as a company that is serious about safety and sourcing the very best road safety products," he said.
Allan said too many people were complacent about the safety message.
"Every weekend, we hear about young people who have tragically sent themselves to an early grave," he said.
"I figured out very early on in my career that I only had one neck.
"Although, I was sometimes criticised for being too cautious in my driving career, I'm only here in one piece now because I never over-stepped the line."

                                   Giant step ... the West Gate BG800 deployment
 
    BarrierGuard 800 deployment a world first
 
A groundbreaking deployment of BarrierGuard 800 on Melbourne's West Gate Bridge is set to re-write the manuals on how safety barriers can be installed and utilised.
In a world first, the BG800 is being deployed using innovative technology that temporarily fuses the steel guard to the bridge deck and existing permanent concrete barrier.
Boylan Traffic Solutions national operations manager Wayne Duckworth said the steel barrier was chosen for its lightweight properties and stellar safety rating.
"With any steel structure such as the West Gate, weight is a critical factor," Wayne said.
"The BarrierGuard 800 is the lightest high-speed barrier available in Australia and it's also the highest rated for safety, so it was a natural choice," he said.
The installation is being carried out by John Holland Construction on behalf of the West Gate Bridge Strengthening Alliance.
The iconic West Gate Bridge - a critical section of Melbourne's M1 road network - is currently being strengthened to improve its long-term sustainability and increase its capacity to five lanes of traffic each way.
The project is part of the Monash-CityLink-West Gate Upgrade -  a $1.39 billion infrastructure investment by the Victorian Government. The West Gate Bridge section of the project is jointly funded by the Federal and State governments.
"The technical complexity of this deployment has been a giant step for the BTS team," Wayne said.
 "It's rewarded us with invaluable expertise which, we anticipate, will be highly regarded in the industry in the future,'' he said.
Boylan Traffic Solutions is the sole Australian distributor of the BarrierGuard 800.

Fifteen-year-old Liam Sager stunned the established Australian Formula Ford
Championship stars recently by recording the sixth fastest practice time on his national series debut .
Sager, a CAMS Rising Star and the youngest driver in the May 15 field at Winton, is only scheduled to compete in two rounds of the 2010 national series as he focuses on the Victorian state title.
Boylan Traffic Solutions is a sponsor of CAMS Rising Stars, a program that aims to help talented young drivers reach the pinnacle of motor sport - the FIA Formula 1 World Championship or the World Rally Championship.
The Queenslander set the fourth fastest time in the opening practice session, and ended
the day sixth on combined times - less than four tenths of a second behind championship favourite Chaz Mostert.
Team-mate Matthew Brabham ended the day just four tenths of a second behind Sager, which left him in 14th place - such is the closeness of the 2010 field.
Jack Le Brocq, who starred earlier in the season by taking points on debut at Albert Park, had a challenging opening day at Winton, ending the day 18th overall.
CAMS Rising Stars points tally to date in the Formula Ford Championship:
Matthew Brabham  20
Jack LeBrocq          2
Garry Jacobson       1

James Moffat out of luck at Winton

Tough weekend ... a first corner clash destroyed James Moffat's hopes of a podium finish

James Moffat endured a tough weekend in Round 3 of the V8 Supercar Development Series at Winton Motor Raceway.
The Norton 360 Ford Rising Stars driver looked to be in line for a podium finish when he ran out luck in the final race of the weekend.
James qualified well in fourth position and despite ordinary starts in races one and two, still managed to secure third and fifth place finishes, giving him a fourth place starting position for the final race of the weekend.
He made his best start of the meeting and moved straight into third position, but an exhaust mount broken in a first corner clash forced him to the pits for repairs and destroyed any hope of a good result.
"It was a tough weekend for us, but I think despite everything we made some good steps in the right direction," James said.
"The car is easier to drive and we proved that, by setting the fastest lap in the final race. Now we need to work on making it more consistent.''

M
ore than 360 student drivers and instructors took part in the World's Largest Driving Lesson staged simultaneously at venues across Australia on April 28.
The event -  a world first -  launched a month of road safety activities leading up to Fatality Free Friday on May 28.
Fatality Free Friday organiser Russell White said the world challenge, staged at 10 towns and cities throughout Australia, highlighted the importance of reducing fatalities and crash-related injuries on our roads.
"Professional training of new drivers is a key component in reducing road trauma, particularly among young drivers," Russell said.
The students practised smooth steering and driving techniques, safe following distances, cornering, reversing and parking.
"The number of participants is now being verified and the record will be announced shortly  ... with the intention to beat it next year," Russell said.
